Wow, it has been a little while since the last post (over 4 months to be exact.) But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been updating the site. I have loaded many videos and picturessince then. Much has happened since Ali went swimming her first time. For example she has gone swimming many many times since. She likes to swim at the sitter’s, across the street at LifeTime, and she loves to go to Great Grandma’s house to go swimming as well. Ali has also made it through two stages of mobility. At the end of April, Ali was able to crawl around the house and get into new trouble. By the end of June Ali was able to get into even more trouble by walking around the house. Now that we are heading into the middle of July, Ali walks everywhere and only crawls to a few places once in a while. She is still big into screaming and spitting/drooling. Her new favorite is has to be food though. She started to beg for and eat our food back in early June. She started with ice cream and then moved on to mashed potatoes, steak, french fries, chips, rice, chicken, crackers, humus and goldfish, just to name a few.

Anyway, back to our 4th of July weekend. continue reading…

For Ali’s 7 month birthday we decided to take her swimming at our family work-out center (LifeTime Fitness). We weren’t exactly sure how she would react to the water but we wanted to get her an early start at swimming. She didn’t do much swimming while we were in the pool but she did do a lot of hanging out, splashing, staring and yelling in excitement. She really seemed to enjoy the water, she didn’t even seem to mind that much when we quicky put her under the water. When she came up she would have a surprised/shocked look on her face that ended up in a smile and more splashing. All-in-all it was a very fun trip that we all enjoyed. I took a couple videos and a few photos. Take a look at all of them and let us know what you think. I removed the sound from the videos as it was very loud in the pool and it wasn’t really possible to hear Ali or Colleen.
